I'm hatching chicks for a friend. They're 'supposed' to be pure...

[Ruby Rogue]

Just hatched these today for a friend. He was expecting pure Barred Rock, pure Rhode Island Red, and Americanas. I know Americanas are mixed anyways.

The yellow ones look like they have some brownish/red fluff although it's not very visible in the pics.

Can any of you confirm the breeds of these chicks?

Not pure.

Who did your friend get the eggs from?

Non are pure Barred Rock or RIR. Either they are all Easter Eggers or they are mixes.

A classified ad.

Thanks. I'll love them as if they were pure (if he doesn't want them).

Well.... they are pure cute!

Asking the eggsperts here — how could you tell the black ones aren’t barred rocks?

Wrong down pattern.

They weren't pure. Though I am having some separation anxiety, they (thankfully) wanted them anyway, and was able to buy some pure barred rock chicks as well.
